What would you do if you met Diane Duane??

[Buran]

I'm just the type to quietly say "hi, I really enjoy your books". I don't do well in noisy places because I'm hearing-impaired and hearing aids amplify all the background noise, too.

[worlebird]

I'd offer to buy her a drink.

Unless I was in line at a book signing, in which case I would thank her nicely for signing my book, maybe shake her hand, wish her continued success, and let the next person have their turn.

[Caitlin]

whoo! worlebird! Long time, no see! power to the oldbies!

...offering to buy her a drink sounds like a really good idea. ...but I don't know if I'm quite old enough to do that. *ponders*

[worlebird]

Caitlin:

"Oldbies". I like it :-).

You could buy her a soda. *chuckle*
Incidentally, I myself don't drink alcohol, but I would offer to buy her whatever she preferred, and then get a Sobe for myself.

Sobe Elixer - cranberry grapefruit. Heaven.

[samehl]

I would probably FREAK XD, but I dunno, I probably won't ever get to meet her 'caus my parents don't get the fascination of meeting ur fav. author. Oh well. *goes off to feel sorry for herself* I guess I will be ok, maybe.
Not all that is gold glitters, not all who wander are lost

[EragonKit]

i know. i would freak too. i also would probably never meet her because my parents don't understand what it would be like to meet your favorite author.

[Ace Ryn Knight]

I would freeze up momentarily, sheer shock stopping any variation of coherent thought I am normally capable of. Of course after this small lapse in character I would either: a) smile brightly and introduce myself, praying I don't sound like a complete fool or b) cry out quite sharply (OMG! It's actually HER!) then hastily flee the scene, for I am most certainly not worthy of the great DD's attention.

[cgcatlover14]

First I would ask for her autograph per standard requirement and then I would start asking about ten million questions, including a lot asking about things that happened in WAW.

[Shea]

I'd turn around for a second and go, "OMG OMG OMG!". Then I'd go up to her all (Sorta) calm and be like, "You're Diane Duane right? I love your books, I can't believe I'm meeting you!". Then I'd ask her about a million things.

[InkSlinger]

I would ask her to sign all my books, then ask her tons of questions, then berate her for all the things that didn't make sense, or I didn't like or something.

In that order, because if I started with berating her, she'd run away before she signed my book or answered my questions.

yes, ladies and gents, I want to be an editor when i grow up.

[Kathy Li]

Errr... why not skip the berating altogether, and just ask her to explain about the stuff that doesn't make sense? I mean, the fans in line behind you might get mad at you if you started berating her. Authors are people, too, and you basically should extend simple courtesy to them, even while doing the fan genuflection thing...

[ShadowWizard]

If I met her hmm... I think if would freak out in my head and try to play it cool on the outside. With my luck I'd go to walk over and up tripping and falling on my face or doing just as embarrassing. I would ask her to sign my book if i'd brought it with me. Then when I left I'd have thought of so many better things to ask, do, or say.

[Dragon Writer]

personally, i'd probably faint. if she was still here when i woke up, i'd faint a couple more times. truthfully? i'm not really certain what i would do. I think it's one of those thing your never really certain about till you actually do it. YOu may say your going to do something. BUt when you actually get to the point, you'll probably find yourself doing something else entirely.

[tori]

REally, I think i would have a "freak attack". My way of say "omfg. im so amazed" Then i would ask her to sign my books, and then ask her why Roshuan died? Then i would ask her to make the publishing company to let the books come out faster! Then ...you know i have no idea what happens after that.lol. Anyway. My mom and ad joke about the whole "Wizardry" thing. Its horrid. I mean my mom will say something like "Ali, go on i dont have the "powers" to know what you are thinking". And i will just stare at her and then she will be like "What?" And its like "Dont dis me" And it goes on and on. She just doesnt get it unlucky for me. Okay me gonna keep rambling so byebye

[magicmaster]

I think I would ask for her autograph and ask for the titles for all the books that she hasn't writen yet.
